Bob,

Did you try Lowe's? I found a fuse for a city street light there once. Please don't ask how we blew up a city street light:shhh:

 

[Bob 1000]

Yeah, forgot to say Lowes also..

Damn, this is about to be a half dead corals for sale thread....

 

[Bob 1000]

Someone, please my corals are losing color... And coralvue sucks they still have not got back to me...

Update: Just threw about $2000 worth of acros in the garbage...

why didn't you just use the 1 ballast on both sides of the tank and run a longer photoperiod in the time being

 

[Bob 1000]

That's new to me ... You can use 1 400w ballast to run 2 400watt bulbs???

 

[noodleman]

i meant just swap the ballast and the pendents, one will still only be on at any given time...but you can keep you corals alive atleast

Yes, just not at the same time.
Run one side in the morning, then the other in the evening.. until you get your replacement

 

[Bob 1000]

Oh okay, I thought this was a way to run both on 1 ballast...
